Milestones and Smiles

These babies just don’t stop growing. Patrick amazed us last week by asking to sleep in his big boy bed—and he stayed in it all night! He’s also had a number of potty successes the past few weeks, and takes great delight in the treats he earns for successful deposits. He had us laughing the other night. While we were changing him into his PJs and he was momentarily naked he started running circles around Donald and told us with giggles, “I’m dancing with my butt on!”
Madeline is making great leaps forward as well. She has been rolling over for several weeks now, and recently discovered her hands and feet. She will occupy herself happily just gazing at her fingers. She has also taken to eating cereal and stage one baby foods with gusto. One night last week when we were eating dinner I was amazed to glance over and see her studying Donald intently, perfectly mimicking his chewing method.
